[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually learned not to say "no" from my nanny. If she saw the kids walking toward a wall outlet, she would say, "that's not for children." It was actually very effective and easier for kids to understand than just a general "no." [/quote] It depends on your children's personalities as to whether that will work, as well as their ages and maturity. As they get older, that won't work. With a strong-willed toddler, it may work for a very short time, but soon something else will need to be done. As for younger children, the more words, the more likely the child is simply confused, which redirects the attention.[/quote] I don't know what to tell you. My kids are 7, 6, 4, 3, and 1, and it works for all of them. As I mentioned in examples above, it works just as well for older kids as younger ones.[/quote]
